Trent Bridge, which is taking over from Lord's as the home of the One-Day Cup final, was one of the host venues for this summer's ICC Cricket World Cup

Trent Bridge will stage its first One-Day Cup final at the end of next season on Saturday, 19 September 2020, following the event's move from Lord's.

The T20 Blast final at Edgbaston will also be held in the final month of the season, having been moved slightly forward in the calendar to 5 September.

Dates for the England & Wales Cricket Board's new men's and women's finals, The Hundred, are yet to be set.

But both Trent Bridge and Edgbaston will host home games in The Hundred.

Warwickshire have confirmed that Edgbaston will host all four home games for the Birmingham men's team in The Hundred, which will be played between July and August.
